Food Allergy, Intolerance, or Something Else? FPIES Explained

from The Pediatrician Next Door - Simple Advice on Parenting and Family Health · host Redd Rock Music

What if your child reacts to a food—but it doesn’t look like a typical food allergy? Maybe it's FPIES!  Allergy specialist Christopher Parrish, MD. explains Food Protein–Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES). Unlike typical food allergies, FPIES reactions happen hours after eating and can cause severe vomiting without the usual signs like hives or swelling. That's why it’s often missed.  Dr. Parrish explains why it can be difficult to diagnose and how families manage it once they know what’s going on.   Meet the Guest: Christopher Parrish, MD, Latitude Food Allergy Care      Send your questions to [email protected] or message me online here.  Find products from the show on the shop page.   *As an Amazon Associate, I earn commission from qualifying purchases.    More from The Pediatrician Next Door:    Website: Pediatrician Next Door Podcast  Instagram: @the_pediatrician_next_door  Facebook: facebook.com/wendy.l.hunter.75  TikTok: @drwendyhunter  LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/drwendyhunter    This is a Redd Rock Music Podcast  IG: @reddrockmusic  www.reddrockmusic.com Learn more about your ad choices.
